(Background)

---

General Overview Samuel is a resolute Starfleet Security Officer, recently transferred from the Starfleet Marine Corps to the Starbase 118 Security Force. His time in the Marine Corps shaped him into a disciplined, capable, and resourceful individual. Marine boot camp and officer training were grueling, yet Samuel excelled, quickly distinguishing himself as a natural leader. Promoted to Squad Leader within four months of training, he learned to think, act, and thrive as a Marine, embodying the ideals of teamwork, strategy, and resilience.

Now, adapting to his role in the Starbase 118 Starfleet Diplomatic Security Detail (SDSD), Samuel applies his Marine training to maintain order and protect the station's diplomatic envoys, the crew and residents. His sharp mind, tactical acumen, and ability to remain calm under pressure make him a valuable asset. Though not actively serving as a Marine, Samuel’s identity and values remain deeply tied to the ethos of the Corps, driving his commitment to justice and service.

Physically, Samuel’s appearance reflects his dynamic personality. His quick-growing beard gives him a perpetual scruffy look, with a five o’clock shadow by noon. Lean yet muscular, he maintains his fitness with regular gym sessions. His bright blue eyes and infectious smile make him approachable, and his hearty laugh and quick wit bring levity to the serious work of station security. Dependable and courageous, Samuel is the kind of officer you want watching your back, whether on patrol or in a crisis.

Ambitions Samuel’s long-term goal remains tied to his Marine identity. He aspires to return to the Starfleet Marine Corps after his probationary period, resuming his role at the front lines of exploration and justice. For now, he is committed to excelling as a Security Officer, applying his skills and experience to protect those on Starbase 118. And someday, he would still like to have a dog: Alaskan Malamute, German Shepherd or a Husky. Cats are cool too.

Hobbies & Interests Samuel’s love for the outdoors and active pursuits remains central to his identity:

• Sports: He enjoys baseball, Paresis Squares, snorkeling, water polo, and organizing outdoor games with friends. He likes to ride repulse enable (anti-grav) motorbikes in off-roading adventures. His most favorite motorbike is manufactured, by hand, by the Rinaldi Replusorlift Motors Company on Fontalis.
• Adventure: Being from Pacifica, Samuel loves the water and the beach. Sailing, hunting, and fishing are his go-to activities during downtime. He loves to go camping.
• Relaxation: Barbecuing on the beach, sitting by a fire, drinking whiskey, talking with friends late into the evening and toasting marshmallows are his idea of a perfect evening.

Likes:

• The structure and discipline instilled by Marine life.
• Camaraderie and teamwork in high-stakes environments.
• Exploring new cultures and upholding the values of the Federation.

Dislikes:

• Indecisiveness or lack of confidence in others.
• Arrogance and cruelty, especially in leadership.
• The Borg, whose actions profoundly shaped his life and perspective. Not a big fan of the Borg. XBorg also give him the haunting creeps.

Samuel’s transition to Starbase 118 Security Force marks a new chapter in his journey, but his Marine roots and commitment to service remain the foundation of his character. He is steadfast in his desire to protect and inspire his crewmates, making him a respected and reliable presence on the station.
